This luminous and festive Double IPA showcases a modern West Coast character, defined by its vibrant and expansive hop profile. Intense aromas of stone fruit and peach from Nectaron lead the sensory experience, seamlessly layered with the bright citrus zest of Citra and the complex tropical berry notes of Mosaic. Built upon a lean and exceptionally clean malt base, the palate is dry and focused, allowing the high hop intensity to take center stage without residual sweetness. A clear, firm bitterness provides structure, culminating in a crisp and refreshing finish that emphasizes high drinkability and resinous hop depth.
Appearance.Pale gold to light amber (6–9 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderate-sized, persistent white head that leaves fine lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma with prominent notes of grapefruit, lime, and ripe mango. Distinctive stone fruit esters and a light resinous pine quality are present, supported by a very low, neutral, grainy malt character.
Taste.Strong hop flavors of citrus peel, passionfruit, and peach dominate from the first sip. A moderately high bitterness is present but remains smooth and clean, balanced by a soft, unobtrusive malt profile. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, enhancing the crispness, while alcohol warmth is subtle and well-integrated.
